Belleville burglary suspect caught in Jersey City

Ahmed Hassan Dar, 18, of Jersey City was arrested and charged with having outstanding warrants on April 14. Dar had been wanted in connection with a burglary and theft that occurred in a Belleville home in mid-March.

Jersey City authorities notified Belleville police that Saturday that they had Dar in custody for burglary and theft, and that he was being held on $10,000 bail. He was picked up by Belleville officers that same day and taken to Belleville police headquarters.

Det. Lt. James Giuliano of the Belleville Police Department said earlier this month that arrest warrants for Dar had been drawn up on April 9.

The incident in question had been reported the night of March 19 at 260 Reservoir Pl.

The homeowner/victim said he had left for work at around 2 p.m., and returned at 9:45 p.m. to find that someone had ransacked his home. Reportedly missing were a 46-inch Samsung television set and a Playstation 3 game console. Total value of the missing items was about $1,200.

Dar’s fingerprints and palm print were later lifted from the scene by police.
